Musta Churna
Musta Churnam (Cyperus rotundus), known as Nagarmotha in Hindi, is regarded in classical Ayurveda as one of the finest Deepana-Pachana herbs. The Charaka Samhita classifies it in the Lekhaniya group (metabolic herbs) and the Trishna Nigrahana group (thirst-alleviating).

How to use
Take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (2-3g) with warm water, before or after meals.
Musta Churna
Unlike many digestive herbs that are heating, Musta offers the rare quality of stimulating Agni without generating excess heat. Its cooling Virya makes it suitable even in warm seasons and for Pitta-predominant constitutions. Classical texts also describe it as Grahi and Stambhana.
Take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (2-3g) with warm water, before or after meals. Often combined with other digestive herbs such as Haritaki or ginger for enhanced effect.
